From the above results tt will be seen That
at the time Of the completion OF her railroad,
stricted In her trade to the narrow limits CT
her own neighborhood. but as the advantages
she offered as general market became known,
her patronage extended till 1t embraces the
greater part of Edgefield, Laurens, AbbeVille
and Newberry counties.
Cotton is brought to her market a distance
of forty miles, and she Is making daily ship
car load, to Newberry, Prosperity. Lanrens,
Honea Path, Abbeville and intermediate
points on the different lines Of railroad. One
firm alone has handled more than 100000 lbs.

pounds Of bacon In 1885.

COTTON FACTORY TO BE BUILT,
Success Having Crowned Efforts at
Railroad Building, There Is no
Such Word as Fail...Beneflts to be
Derived from n Factory.

Another enterprise which Greenwood
has decided to undertake is the erec-
tion of q cotton factory, for the accom-
plishment Of this she brings to i her
aid her former experience In more hercu-
lean task. In It she has enlisted every inter-
est OF the town, and lays under contribution
every department OF her trade. She enters
upon It with that unity Of purpose and single
ness Of ain which is a guarantee OF success.
The committees charged with the various de.
tails are encouraged by their success, and It is
believed, will soon report their readiness to
contract for the work.
Her Board of Trade is 'the power behind
the throne" Representing every interest of
the town, and composed of men OF wealth,
mature judgment and practical experience,
the unanimous cooperation of all these inter-
ests is readily obtained for accomplishment of
such measures as the Board will recommend.
In the erection Of cotton factory 1t is un-
derstood that the merchant is increasing the
number Of his customers the physician is
adding to his list Of patients and the lawyer
to his clients, the mechanic Is creating de-
mand for his services, and for every hundred
operatives employed the town will probably
receive five hundred Inhabitants, besides the
profits to accrue to the individual stockhold-
er. Others have offered and are waiting TO
take stock In this enterprise.

Steps have also been taken by the Board of
Trade TO provide On ample wagon yard for the
use and occupation OF those who come from
distance with their produce and are compell-

The Phenomenal Success of the
Building and Loan Association ii.
Iustrates the Necessity for a Bank.

During the same year she organized under
the laws OF this State, q Building and Loan
Association which has been managed most
successfully. 1t is now In the second year of
its active existence. 492 shares of sl00 each
were taken, and the net gain up to the time
of the 6rst annual statement was 1862. The
stock of this association commands a very
high premium, and is sought after, but is not
to he had on the market. It has been Of great
benefit 10 the town in furnishing means for
the erection of houses as well as q safe and
profitable investment.

the town, and cannot be longer delayed As
surance Is given that bank will be establish
ed as soon as the building can be erected The
establishment OF other Industries will soon

Planning Mill and Sash Factory.
The operations Of q lumber yard, which has
existed here for two years past, have been so
great, and the demand for DOORS sash and
blinds Is such that parties have determined to
erect planning mill and sash factory, and are
now negotiating to secure q location for that
purpose. No better place for the establish
ment OF such Industries can be selected.
While the facilities for transportation which
she offers. are equal to those of other locali.
tics, all kinds Of material, especially in the
matter Of timber, are cheap and Of the finest
quality. ''
Whlteoak, ash, hickory, walnut, poplar and
pine timbers abound in the valleys and ridges
Of the adjacent country. Recently an Eng.
lishman has been engaged In shipping large
quantities Of this material to England FOR va
rious purposes of manufacture.

A CARD FACTORY DURING THE WAR.
After the War 1t Was SOld...The Pro.

She erected and operated during the war q
card factory for the manufacture of cotton
and wool cards, which was the only one in
the upper part Of the State, If not the only
one in 1t. From this factory thousands OF
cards were distributed over the country, and
was q means of relief from the destitution re-
sulting from the blockade OF Southern ports.
After the war when there was no longer ne
cessity for so primitive an Institution, she
sold Ii, and ordered the proceeds to be appor.
toned among the minor children of deceased
Confederate soldiers in this and adjoining
counties.

FARMS ARE BETTER THAN MINES.

Colorado, our neighbor on The west, leads
all the states in production OF the precious
metals. The total output of all the mines
in the countries in the year OF 1886 was
$50 900 ,OOO-gold $35, 900, 900, silver SOL
600 600. OF this amount the Colorado
mines are credited with nearly % per cent,
the figures showing upward of $50, ,oO0, 600.
The Colorado mines have been worked
long time. 1t was known more than thirty
wears ago that gold and silver could be
found there in immense quantities.
| The mines have been worked at least
fifteen years successfully. A large
| portion of Colorado's population consists
of miners, and a large proportion OF her
wealth consists of her gold and silver
mines. and in the most productive year IN
her history she turned out little over
twenty million dollars.
Kansas farms can beat that nearly hun
dred per cent on single crop. The corr
crop raised by this state last wear, at the
low prices ruling, was worth S3S, 600, 600
The increase in Kansas live stock in tht
last two years amounted TO about eighty
per cent. of Colorado's entire gold ant
Silver crop of 1886. Kansas farmer:
make prairie hay every year equal in va'u
of one-half the biggest yearly yield of tn
Colorado mines, and they dispose of liv
stock for meat every year avalue full,
equal to all the gold and silver which th
t first in rank of all the prescious NETS
8 states produces. In any good crop yea
> our wheat is worth more than Colorado
gold and silver. The products of on
l livestock animals. slaughtered and sol
: for slaughter, wool butter and cheese maj
d ufactured and poultry, eggs and milk sol
v in 1889, was equal in value to the tot
output of the Colorado mines for the san
a time, and 75 per cent. more. Our cor
" wheat, oats. potatoes, sorghum, hay ar
d. live stock slaughtered and sold for slaug
ter in the two years of 1885 and lse
amounted in Aalue TO S243, $50, ESQ, abe
.a twelve times the total product of o
neighbor's mines for one year. The
d. facts, we submit, prove the truth of o
he proposition that farms are better tn

Of quarter of million per month, or four
million per year, is the size of the volume
of foreigners which has been pouring in

This question of immigrants is becoming a
grave one. Such stream is greater than

stuffing sheaves Of wheat into q machine
faster than it can thresh and properly clean,
